Denver p spers are a~gitating the question
OF erecting permanent exposition buildings
at that city. The proposition is to raise
enough money by subscription to buy the
lots for the structures and then mortgage
the lots and the buildings to get the money
to build. 1t is presumed Denver knows her
own business, but in face of the fact that
in no instance have enterprises of that
character proved a success in any particu.
lar the project may be set down as ex-
tremelv hazardous. to say the least.

Adiudged Insane.

J.E. Sullivan has been acting queerly
about town for a few days past. He went
into the White Elephant saloon and was
observed there, taking no heed of what was
going on around him and talking to HIM
self. Occasionally he would spring to his
feet and brandish his arms with incohereni
threats. BE was perfectly harmless and
offered no violence to anyone, but Mr..
Schillirg, the proprietor, naturally felt un-
easy at his presence, and officers being
called conveyed him with little difficulty to
the jail. Yesterday he was the subject of
an inquiry in the Probate Court before a
jury, who returned a verdict hat he was
laboring under mental arrangement and
was unsafe to be at large. He was accord
ingly committed to the Insane Asylum,
whittier he will be taken to-day.

Sheriff Lloyd got in yesterday morning
from Dillon with 3. NJ. Thomas, who was
arrested at Dillon for assaulting Julius
Mordaunt, of the St. Nicholas saloon.
Mr.. Mordaunt thought the case would be
assault with a deadly weapon, which was
the complaint he meant to make. but
when, at 2 O'Clock, the case was called in
Judge Lippincott's court, he was surprised
to find the charge against Thomas was
only assault and battery. County Attor-
drawn up, but Mordaunt desiring to have
the matter disposed OF with the least
trouble and publicity to himself. the case
was allowed to stand, and Thomas pleaded
guilty with c~ommendable celebrity, a fine of
$50 and costs was imposed and
paid, and that ended it. MIR. Mordaunt is
abe to attend to business, but his face will
be in mourning for some time to come.

RAREFIED AIR AND MANIA.

Thin Blooded People Who Cut UI
Strange Capers in Colorado.
ut is strange how some people are affected
by the light air and 5000 feet altitude Of
Cheyenne" said Policeman Bean in a recent
conversation.
"A short time ago a book agent reached
here from Denver. He was rather a cadaver.
Gus looking chap, who didn't seem to pack
around more blood in his constitution thar
the law allows. As the train neared Chey.
enne he began to glare around the car as il
he was afraid somebody was going to slug
him., and when the news agent passed through
peddling some oranges he fairly yelled for
them to take him away. He was afraid of
being killed. When he reached here he got
spells in'the same way, and I had a good deal
of bother in soothing him.
"When he wasn't Eighty he told me that he
had often been troubled that way when he
reached any tolerably high altitude The
least excitement brought on a fresh spell. I
learned afterward that he never had any
such attacks at home. In my experience at
the depot here / have known of many people
who ave been troubled in the same way.
This seems to be especially true Of ladies.
who grow worse until they begin to descend
the bill from Sherman to Laramie City, and
on inquiring of the trainmen l learn that
afterward they go through all right"
"You remember that little fellow from Ne
vada, who cut up such tantrums at the depot
here a few months agos' asked the Judge.
The listener intimated that be hadn't for
gotten the circumstances
"Wel, that fellow began to show the effect
OF the altitude as the taa iii neared Cheyenne,
By the time he had reached here he had bar
ricaded himself in the retiring room and was
about to throw himself out of the window
when the trainmen forced their way in and
caught him. He was sure somebody was
going to kill him. got him away from the
crowd and told him I'd protect him, and
finally got him Quoted down. The trainmen
looked after him until they began to descend
from Sherman, and soon after be seemed to
be as sane as anybody.
ut was only q few days later that an old
lady on the train was taken in the same a

who sat in the far and of the car had foul de-
signs upon her. Until the train reached
Cheyenne the unfortunate daughter Of Africa
did not dare move q muscle for fear of throw

this sort turn up often"
"What sort Of people seem to be most
affected that wayF" was asked.
They are generally thin blooded, nervous
people, who, if they are in fair health, have
got but little vitality back Of them" was the
reply. "Very nervous old women are very |

JOHN

The statement published in TIE MINER
dispatches yesterday morning to the effect
that Mr.. Blaine has been requested to
let 60 his hold on the Republican party and
that the Republican leaders will unite in an
effort to maintain John Sherman as their
candidate for the Presidency next year,
brings the Ohio staterman to the front
again and invests his Southern tour with
still greater significance.
Mr.. Sherman is no doubt q great Repub-
lican leader. He is confessedly a man of
commanding abilities, shrewd, far seeing
and strong. He has exhibited brilliant
powers in the Senate, and his record as Sec
rotary OF the Treasury barring his excera-
bic silver policy is not without credit to
him. But can it be expected that the South
will readily forget the part taken by John
Sherman in it's destines during the dreadful
era OF carpetbag government and in the in
terest OF the Republican satrapy? There
are few thoughtful and high-mindel men
even within the Republican ranks-who
look back upon the fraud OF 1876 without
q blush. Yet that fraud was the apotheo-
sis Of carpetbaggery, and John Sherman
was it's most conspicuous agent. He it was
headed the delegation to Louisiana. He
vent there to seize for impostor Hayes the
electoral vote of a State which General
Grant himself had abandoned to the Dem
acratic candidate for Governor. He came
to the people OF the South as the type of
everything that was unfair and intolerant
and tyrannical in Republican policy and
purpose. He stands in their memories to-
day az the symbol and incarnation OF the
most grievous and ranking political wrong
ever inflicted upon a people.
Speaking of this sam matter, the New
York Star expresses the opinion that the
South's present temper may not be intelli-
gently appraised by the standard Of its re-
ception OF Senator Sherman. This side
Mason and Dixon's line be may be covered
with political glory. Here in the ATTITUDES
where he has never violated any OF our
deeper convictions, and where his services
have brought him minence, honor, ,,"troops
OF friends" he may command the fullest
need Of respect and confidence. But in the
Southern States he must ever remain a

not all OF these combined may represent to

It was the mistake of John Sherman's
career-the blot in the scutcheon

he lent himself to that sinister and hateful
treachery and consented to appear before
South as it's exponent and peculiar in

late day, to complain that the South can
not forget the outrage or open its arms to
